Travel and Packable

Bring a hat along the next time your wanderlust takes you to new places. You can always use a hat, no matter where your travels take you. The best hats for travel are ones that can flatten or fold up to fit in your suitcase so you don't have to hold a hat on your lap for an extended flight. These excursion-ready travel hats are stylish and constructed from collapsible materials that allow you to easily fold them down into your luggage, purse or carry-on without compromising the hat’s structure or shape. Our Packable Hats Collection includes everything from a packable fedora hat for nights out on the town, to a packable sun hat for uncomplicated UV protection at the beach.

You will also find rain hats for destinations where you can expect a constant misting. While these hats are ideal for travel, you will find them useful for jaunts closer to home as well. Hats are back in fashion, perhaps due to Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, who dusted off the fuddy-duddy headgear and made it cool again. But if you’re anxious about buying a hat, especially a hat for traveling, here are a few recommendations: Style is important, as you don’t want to look too ridiculous or you’ll never wear it. Pick a color and shape that highlights your face. And then think about where you’re going and what qualities you need from your travel hat. Some things to consider: Do you need the travel hat to be water repellant? Is the hat quick drying? Should your hat be washable? (Will you be hiking in muddy terrain or dusty trails, or visiting the beach?) Wrinkle-free and packable are important factors, if you plan on stuffing your hat into a bag or purse. Breathability helps when you’re traveling to a warm climate and you want to stay cool, calm and comfortable. UV resistance needs to be considered when protecting your face from the sun’s damaging rays, and a wide brimmed hat will keep the sun’s rays at bay. Also, a dark colored hat will cut the sun’s glare. And lastly, consider picking a hat that has a cord or hook, so it will stay securely on your head, or attach easily to a travel bag or purse.
